Hi again The points made by both of you seem to have finally settled the debate in my brain. When I imported from RM7 (and even a RM8 beta) my resulting FH project was so FUBAR that I was ready to shxxcan both pieces of software. My project was pretty decent in RM7 but it’s limitations/performance m...

Hi Helen! Thanks for the insightful response. After reviewing the mess FH6 made with my RM import, I've come to the conclusion that I'm a 'lumper'. I ended up with so many source & citation records after the import that it drove me batty trying to fix inconsistencies that would fix some entries but ...

Hey Mike.
FYI

I decided on the Apache OpenOffice suite. I looked at WPS Office (based in China)- although not banned yet in the US, I'm weary of that changing in the future - given recent events in that region. Going to look at Libre Office as well later today.

Hi Mike. Thanks for the suggestions. I was looking at the alternatives you mentioned last night. As far as the font goes, it was missing from the font list in FH. Got it installed today. I'm a font junkie :lol: Anyway, I found scores of complaints from users regarding this BS security patch. There i...

Hi all! Wow- now I’m totally confused on this issue. Background: I migrated from RM7 to FH6 2 years ago but had step back from genealogy due to medical issues. That said, downloaded the new FH7 as a trial before committing to an upgrade purchase since I liked what I saw in the version notes. Conflic...

Ugh. Tried exporting report as RTF this led to a whole set of woes! A recent “security” update to windows 10 prevents opening of rtf files in word/excel etc due to ability for hackers to install malicious code etc. To add to my woes is the fact I use the “online” versions of MS Office 360. Who can a...

Good Morning folks. First, thanks for the information and your insights. Second, I have FH 7 fully updated to the current version as of today. I’ve tried several different fonts and yet those superscripts rarely change. It’s frustrating that FH7 can’t format them to my liking since FH has fairy dece...

I know about [Report > Options > Format > Section Data - but there’s no option to format the Source ref. Numbers. This screenshot should illustrate the text I want to change. At the very least the color - that light grey prints very light for my taste. At the end of "BEATLEY" are 2 source references...

GOOD AFTERNOON FHUG! Changing the size of the superscript SOURCE REF NUMBER at the end of the family member name seems impossible. EX: Dennis Beatley 1,2 - note these numbers are shifted to top of Beatley - couldn't figure out how to shift them up here. I've tried just about everything in the FORMA...

Hi Mike.
Thanks for the suggestion for that article. I’m in process of installing FH 7 and and will see how my v6 project rolls over. Hopefully that work around is compatible with v7.

Again many thanks - much appreciated.
Stay safe- cheers

Hi All: FH Version 6 user here - fully updated - and have a question regarding the MERGE/COMPARE function. Discarding the obvious reason for doing this, I have an ungodly amount of _UID and _AMTID entries in 350+ individuals. I understand these more than likely came over from a GEDCOM file but I wis...
